In good condition, with vibrant colors. Minimal signs of wear along the edges and in the corners. In some places, there are tiny areas where the paint has flaked off and some deposits on the paint layer. There are isolated areas with minimal to small retouching. The condition report was compiled in daylight with the aid of a UV light source, and to the best of our knowledge and belief.
